    what would be good cheap ones?

    growing up all I rode was platforms. I am guessing I will like it. but yeah, 70 is a bit much for me right now. something in the 40 range or less would be sweet. I know I don't want cheap plastic things.

    Guys - please check the MORC site to make sure the trail is good to go.

    Do not ride wet trails or you will be smited.

    I checked morc. nothing about it being closed today. with the amount of foliage out there it doesn't get a tremendous amount of rain like one might think. It's sunny today so I'd be surprised if the trails weren't perfect.

    you going to show up sean or is this your way of backing out? ;)

    I'll probably still show just to make sure nobody tries to ride...

    Leb is getting hit. Call no joy. Live to ride another day.

    Do you ever speak real english?:laugh:

    Yeah, Leb got hit real hard and so did the rest of the Southern burbs.

    Nobody could give me the smack down, especially when I'm on my bike...they would become road kill;)


    Agreed though, riding on wet trails gets people pissed. Not cool

    Change of plans peeps. The only other nice place to ride that has not been hit is Battle Creek. Still dry and no rain there.

    If anyone is interested I'm still game...and it's a nice place to ride. Respond if you're interested

    Battle Creek- 7PM

    Battle Creek sounds fine. We may continue to get t-storms throughout the evening, however.

    Maybe best to plan a new night?

    People on MORC hate it when people ride the trail after a rain shower. It leaves tread marks and leaves brake holes in the downhill sections. Because of the storm that just passed over Eagan today, I'll postpone the ride for now and wait for a sunny day. If you guys do go out there, just be careful.

    We're not going to Leb.

    I agree, wet trails FTL!

    Battle Creek was not hit.....so we're good to go for a dry ride over there

    I'll keep an eye on the weather over there. If there's storms in the vicinity I'll call it off.

    not even close.....Leb you have to keep a higher pace for longer periods of time. BC you can take it easier and the climbs...although steeper are short, very short

    Oh, I've been to Battle Creek. I rode there a month ago from my house at Metrostate University. It's a nice ride with bridges and all but no jumps or obstacles like Leb. I'll do my best to make it out.

    Huh? Battle Creek is categorically more aerobically challenging than Leb. Are you sure you ride the whole thing? ;)

    Regardless, Leb is more fun and "flowy" and the superior option if both are ridable, to me.

    Chet - no gasoline powered bikes permitted.
